Julep September 2013 (Spoilers)

[Donna529]

I did the full box with the sponge and 2 of the Reece for my add ones 

 

[Shauna999]

I'm really loving the micro glitters and the holo- once I saw the swatches, I was sold!!

 

[Jac13]

I actually like almost all the colors. I am not sure on the gray and yellow. Don't want another nude. I am not sure what box I will pick. I would upgrade but I do not want the beauty cream. Decisions decisions!!

Hi everyone! This is my first month as a Maven. I just got my free welcome box (with a few add-ons....) a few days ago, so I thought I would skip September. But it looks like I can get double Jules if I buy my first box, plus September is my birthday month, and I love the colors...so I think I'm going to buy one!

My profile is CwT, but I think I might get It Girl and add on Padma...decisions, decisions. 

I've had a lot of fun reading this thread over the last few days- really happy to find the group! 

 

[Jac13]

Just looked at the swatches... Very nice. I really like Reece; it's different than anything I have.

 

[chelsealady]

I want everything but the yellow.    It's like Julep went and hit my checklist.   Upgrade month for me and add on Reese.  

Good thing my Bondi is already paid for.

I actually like lots of the colours, and a good buy for Xmas gifts. I'm very curious about the cleansing oil also and getting it in the Maven box is the best value.

Hmm, decisions...

 

[Jac13]

These would also make good gifts for teachers. Something different than candy. Well you can always add on candy like Julep, lol.

I went with It Girl, even though I really don't need another yellow. I feel like I've gotten 3 yellows from them in less than six months, and one of them stained my nails (and yes, I wear basecoat, though I'm now waiting a FULL five minutes before painting any color on... hopefully no staining from now on). I do love that dark teal and I do NOT have a chocolate microshimmer, so that will be fun to wear.

I also added on Reece. I love purples, I love holos. I couldn't say no to it. Did you know they also have a polish called Reese? Lol, they're running out of names. Feel free to name one Laurie, that's my name /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oddly enough I liked the gray and dark blue creams but I'm not over the moon with the shimmers they paired with them. Besides, I really do NOT want that cleansing oil. While there are a few changes I plan on making to my skincare line, my cleansers are not among them. Besides, I have such sensitive skin, I can't risk messing it up with an unknown factor! Although kudos to Julep for not adding fragrance. I have no idea why so many cosmetics companies (including high-end, prestige ones) are hell-bent on irritating the hell of out our skin with perfumes.

Either way, this box was free for me! I had 4400 points /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I really want Reece.  It's gorgeous.

I might order It Girl although I'm not thrilled w/the marigold color.  

 

[mariahk83]

anyone else having trouble with changing their box selection?  The webpage isn't showing for me correctly (and I can't, at the moment try a different browser)

 

[jesemiaud]

I wasn't super excited about any of the collections, so I went with the Modern Beauty box with Reece and the sponge add-ons.

 

[LinaMingo]

I want to try the primer...so I am thinking of going w/ the Modern Beauty box and adding the sponge, Candace and Tatiana.

 

[mariahk83]

I want EVERYTHING.....the only colors i'm kind of MEH about are the CWaT....

 

[greatbleuheron]

I skipped.  In about two seconds flat.

I do like some of the colors they're offering; it's just that I already have near-dupes for the ones I like.  If I weren't a burgeoning hoarder of polish I might have gone for this month's box.

I really wish they would offer something flat-out unusual for once.  

 

[lioness90]

I skipped. I liked the non-creme polishes though.

btw you can also see the colours here:

I think overall this is a pretty good collection and actually pretty on-par with a fall collection. I'm not really feeling the colours, but I think cohesively and seasonally it's really great. 

Also, they're not including Reece OR the sponge in the upgrade? and it's STILL +$35 instead of the old $30? s i g h

I'm not really feeling any of the colours other than Reece... nor am I really interested in the face primer. I really want to try the face oil. julep is really twisting my arm with their "sets".

I'm going to get one, but I'm going to have to sit on it a little longer about which one I want... sigh

A L S O there are so many yellows. Not to diss yellow lovers, but yellow and orange really are a new "thing" in nail polish I feel like, especially yellow. I know there are people who like them, but mostly I'm like ... well it's okay for them, but do we really need a new yellow colour EVERY SINGLE SET? And there was not green this month either and two blues e__e sigh

Agree with everything you just said.

Pooh. The only one I really REALLY want is Karmen.  Which is, of course, paired with Daria which I don't want AT ALL.  I was even mildly intrigued by the cleansing oil....but not enough to spend the money when one polish is going to languish unopened forever.  Guess that's my excuse to hit the stores hunting a dupe for Karmen

The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head would be Zoya Rica, but that's not nearly as dark...
